In this video installation about meat consumption in 2050, the visitor does not find shocking images of factory farming, but a visualisation of different scenarios. The spectator is a time traveller, who ends up in the year 2050 by traveling through a dark tunnel. The square one arrives upon has five ‘doors’ – inspired by Alice in Wonderland. Behind each door hides a future scenario which the visitor can see, sitting at a small dinner table. Five kitchens, five nutritional models: from cultured meat, insects, less and organic meat to a vegan scenario and a future where we will do nothing – and continue the way we consume as we do now. In a quiet area with stools and a newspaper full of facts about the scenarios, the time traveller can overthink the future scenarios and can choose his or her favourite scenario.

The aim of this video installation is to let people think about meat consumption in the future in a positive way and to trigger them to act in the present.
